They look super! But, isn't Wenge brittle and very splintery?

Looking good!
...Naval Aviators, that had balz made of brass and the size of bowling balls, getting shot off the deck at night, in heavy seas, hoping that when they leave the deck that the ship is pointed towards the sky and not the water.

The above shown Wenge handle got some more attention. That's the way it looks after the shaping work is done, the grain is closed and it was sanded with 2 grits. 2 more have to be done. As you can see, the edges are as crisp as they should be. It feels rather smooth already.

Beautiful work, as usual. Does the MOP serve any purpose, or is it the nib of backsaws?
